This report is from our France 2 colleagues, with Erin Ogunkeye.WB5886347-F24-EN-20180220Tue, 20 Feb 2018 07:09:09 GMTFRANCE 2UGANDAVideo: Fleeing ethnic strife, Congolese refugees seek haven on Ugandan shoreshttp://www.france24.com/en/20180217-uganda-congo-fleeing-ethnic-strife-congolese-refugees-seek-haven-ugandan-shores
